Hopefully, that has all changed the morning of Sept 5th. Food will taste better, air will smell cleaner, the sun will be brighter, our sense of humor will return, and UM will have one less win needed to become bowl eligible.

Roundtree and Odoms have impressed me enough in actual games to hold down the slot postition along with Stonum at WR. In the past, Grady has shown little at the SR and has dropped several easy catches. There is also some depth at SR behind 'Tree/Odoms. If Grady can play corner well enough to challenge for the spot opposite JT Floyd, move him.

Agree, although he could be a two-way player if he really did have that good of a spring and summer. He probably wouldn't have had many snaps at SR as it is so you cannot really expect him to be overworked playing both positions.

I agree with you and lets not forget that last year Grady showed well in camp but had problems catching and holding on to the ball in games if he is playing DB those are no longer issues and we know he can run. What do you have to lose by making this move

Howeva, I would assume that if he switched to DB it would be to add a little depth as well. If we had a walk-on (although I realize that he was an accomplished high school player) backup slot receiver who moves to defense 2 weeks before the start of the season playing any significant minutes we are more screwed than I thought.

Grady can actually contribute at CB. That seems somewhat doubtful considering he hasn't played the position in college and there are less than two weeks left in camp. I thought he was going to contribute to the offense a bit more this year, but perhaps the suggested move speaks to that.

Maybe after Gibson stayed up all night watching scrimmage film his reaction was to curl up on RichRod's door step in the fetal position and cry himself to sleep. He might have resorted to beg for some help from the offense.

If I didn't hear it from CFN, bleacherreport, Deadspin, Weekly World News (hereunto know as "the paper") Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Tribune, Lane Kiffin's publicist, Fox News then I really don't give it much credibility.

Is he an offensive "player" if he's not going to play? Okay that's a slight exaggeration, but he wasn't going to start. There's no reason he can't play both ways if need be. Extraordinary circumstances call for desperate measures. I don't think KG will start at CB right away, but traditionally receivers have been a natural switch to CB, because of their speed, hips, knowledge of receiver's schemes, and ball skills (usually). This could work well. You just have to give it time.

This might be crazy, but if its true that Grady was asked to move, maybe its because Grady has had such a good camp so far? We have seen the benefit of knowing both sides of the ball when changing positions - Cam Gordon as case in point (if he learns to tackle). Perhaps the db coach, getting desperate, sees how athletic Grady is, how he has come to understand the offense side, thinks he is best suited for the position of need, and best able to make that transition?

I would agree with this sentiment, but for a different reason (i.e. not necessarily about knowing both sides of the ball). Since he's at a position of great depth and has had a great camp, it's possible that the coaches are trying to reward him with the possibility of more playing time since it was pretty likely that he wouldn't see all that much at slot.
